Charles signed this document with his X mark, which was surprising as his occupation had been book agent, which suggested was able to read and write.

From the 1851 Ontario, Canada census there were 3
children attributed to Cordelia Glover: Frances Glover, Arthur Glover &
Walter Glover.Because Frances is not
listed among Charles living children we can assume she died before 4 May
1898.James M. Glover was not listed as
he was born after this census was taken.

The naming of James M. Glover as Charles Glover’s son,
collaborates the marriage record of James Glover and Jennie Stott, that also
lists Charles as his father and Cordelia Little as his mother.And it also agrees with the marriage record of Frank J. Glover and Nellie Stockman, wherein Frank also listed James Glover as his father. James M. Glover also lived with Charles
Glover in Rochester, New York in 1872-1874 and again in 1879, as shown in the Rochester City
Directories.

While I had long
suspected that James M. Glover was the son of Charles Glover and his
first wife Cordelia Little, this is the first primary evidence that
Charles and Cordelia were indeed James M. Glover's parents.
